Hi Jim, The only thing I can come up with to account for this behavior would be Microsoft User Account Control. Beginning with Vista onwards Microsoft has changed the security restrictions on certain directories such as C:\Program Files and while the option to explore directories still exists it may not let you do it as a standard user. There are two possible solutions for this problem. One, Phil can turn off User Account Control in the Control Panel. Two, he can reinstall all of your games in a local directory such as C:\Users\Phil\Games which he has full user permissions to access. Either way he needs to bypass UAC if he wants the games to work as your games don't meet current design standards for Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
